review 1: Not only does this book have delightfully appealing illustrations but there is a remarkable amount of content for a book aimed at young children. I thoroughly enjoyed this book and the picture it presented of one of our most influential presidents. These books would be a great way to introduce biographies to young readers. There were even some stories about Lincoln that I hadn't heard before which is great considering how much I've read about the man. The only thing I might have wished for is a bibliography or works cited at the end of the book, but considering the age the book is aimed at that's not too surprising. Although, the author does acknowledge the help of the Lincoln Studies Center at Knox College. And I recognized the several of the quotes used as words tha... moret Lincoln actually used. Overall, an informative and delightfully useful new series.
review 2: Watch out for the “I am” series, which highlights Ordinary People that Change the World. They are simple biographies that introduce young readers to key historical figures through using a graphic novel like format. In the books, a message is interwoven that is powerful. It is also has nice details, like in the Abraham Lincoln one, it uses a turtle as a symbol of “injustice.” So much history is incorporated in many different ways! If you are trying to get your little tot between preschool to second grade reading nonfiction books, this should be your next pick! less
